An exceptional detached home set in a highly sought after Wells location

Set within one of Wells’ most desirable residential areas, this beautifully presented four bedroom detached home offers a rare combination of generous living space, thoughtful modern improvements and a peaceful setting, all within easy reach of the city centre.

Entering the property, you are welcomed into a spacious entrance hall with plenty of room for coats and shoes, along with a convenient cloakroom. From here, the house unfolds naturally and with a pleasing sense of balance between traditional and open-plan living.
To the front, the sitting room is a calm and inviting space, filled with natural light from a bay window and complemented by a further side aspect. A feature log burning stove provides a focal point, giving the room a cosy and comfortable feel – ideal for quieter evenings or as a retreat from the more sociable areas of the house.

As you move through to the rear, the property opens beautifully into what is undoubtedly the heart of the home. The kitchen has been immaculately extended to create a substantial open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, thoughtfully designed for modern family life. This is a wonderfully light and expansive room, where clearly defined zones for cooking, dining and relaxing flow seamlessly together while still retaining a sense of structure.

The kitchen itself is well-appointed, offering ample storage and preparation space, and is perfectly positioned to remain connected to both the dining and living areas. The dining space comfortably accommodates a large table, making it ideal for gatherings and entertaining, while the living area provides a relaxed setting to enjoy views out to the garden. Wide openings and generous glazing draw in natural light throughout the day and create a strong visual and physical connection to the outside, allowing the space to extend effortlessly into the garden during warmer months.

Supporting the main living areas, a separate utility room provides excellent additional storage and space for appliances, helping to keep the main kitchen area uncluttered and functional.

A further bedroom downstairs offers valuable flexibility, currently serving as a home office but equally suited to use as a bedroom, playroom, snug or hobby room depending on individual needs.

Upstairs, a generous landing leads to three well-proportioned double bedrooms. The principal bedroom is particularly spacious, benefitting from a dual aspect and built-in storage, while the remaining bedrooms are equally bright and comfortable, offering flexibility for family life, guests or further workspace. A well-sized family bathroom serves the first floor.

Studio
A particularly appealing addition is the detached studio located within the garden. This versatile space lends itself perfectly to a variety of uses, whether as a home office, music room, creative studio or a dedicated area for older children.

Outside
The rear garden has been thoughtfully landscaped to create a low-maintenance yet highly attractive space. A terrace provides the ideal setting for outdoor dining and entertaining, while the garden enjoys a good degree of privacy along with delightful views back towards St Cuthbert’s Church – a subtle but special reminder of the home’s setting within this historic city.

To the front, there is off-road parking and access to a garage, completing what is a highly practical and well-balanced home.

Situation
Wells is the smallest Cathedral city in England and offers all the usual amenities that you would expect including banks, doctors’ surgeries, dentist, a selection of primary schools and the excellent Blue School and Wells Cathedral School.

The High Street is vibrant with a small selection of chain stores such as Boots and Waterstones, plus a variety of independent shops, restaurants and pubs. There is a twice weekly market offering good local produce, delicious fresh fish, meat products and a variety of street food. Wells also has a choice of supermarkets including Waitrose, Tesco, Morrisons and Lidl. At the very heart of the city is the stunning mediaeval Cathedral with its Chapter House and adjacent Vicars’ Close: the oldest street of houses in Europe still used for the purpose for which they were built. The Market Place offers a superb cafe culture when the weather is fine, with tables and chairs set out amongst the fabulous architecture and historic buildings.

Wells is fast becoming the South West’s go-to place for festivals with its annual food, literary, contemporary art, garden, comedy and theatre festivals. There are regular live-music events in both the Cathedral and Cedar’s Hall, the auditorium of the famous Wells Cathedral School. There are regular shows in Wells’ Little Theatre and a multi-screen cinema. Other local attractions and amenities include the well-known Bath and West Show Ground just a few miles away, home to the annual Bath and West County Show and many other exhibitions as well as regular antiques markets.

The cities of Bath and Bristol are within commuting distance and there is a main line railway station at Castle Cary (13 miles away) with direct links to London Paddington, journey time 1hr 40 mins. Street and Glastonbury are 20 minutes away and Bristol airport is an easy 30-minute drive.
